Re: Salem (WGN America) -- S: Janet Montgomery -- Series Thread
It's one of the best, nastiest horror shows ever broadcast. This is old-school witchcraft we don't get from Hollywood anymore since the subject has ridiculously morphed into some kind of teen female empowerment trip.
The show doesn't pull its punches at all and has some of the most effective production design I've seen on television.

Penny Dreadful is much more of a true period show with its literary dialogue and milieu. Salem likes getting down and dirty in its horror.
I was actually afraid the show would lose steam in its second season since so much plot had been advanced in season one, but the addition of European witches added so much to the story.

I wonder what they're going to do with Anne Hale now that she's gone to the dark side. Foolishly so too, since unlike George Sibley Cotton Mather is the town drunk, with neither property nor political favor she can use for herself. She made him a great burden rather than cultivating an asset.

Season three oddly premieres on November 2nd, back on WGN America. That is a Wednesday.
This is the one show I wish had been put out on Blu-ray. I think it would have driven awareness for what has become a great horror series.

Everything in "Salem" has gone to hell when WGN America's hit supernatural thriller returns Halloween Week, Wednesday, November 2 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. In advance of the premiere, the network released a riveting new trailer featuring a gruesome twist on "Cats Cradle." The devil has arrived in "Salem" and everything he promised the witches is a lie! He has his own plans that will bring nothing but death and destruction and there's only one person on earth that can stop him. The only problem is - she's dead. Or is she? In the most twisted season yet, legendary recording artist Marilyn Manson guest stars as the bloody barber surgeon Thomas Dinley. In the premiere episode, written by series creators Brannon Braga and Adam Simon and directed by Nick Copus, John Alden (Shane West) is forced to bury his love Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery), and her mysterious servant Tituba (Ashley Madekwe) now with the abilities of the seer, has a horrifying vision of hell on earth. She knows the only person who can stop this evil and beat the devil (Oliver Bell) - is the very witch that birthed him, his mother, Mary Sibley. Meanwhile, Isaac (Iddo Goldberg) takes it upon himself to attempt to clean up Knocker's Hole and get revenge against Mercy (Elise Eberle), who has found her calling running the brothel. Still struggling with her new powers, Anne Hale (Tamzin Merchant) continues to imprison her husband Cotton Mather (Seth Gabel), using her familiar Brown Jenkins. With the help of Baron Sebastian Marburg (Joe Doyle) and his old ally and fallen angel, The Sentinel (Samuel Roukin), the devil is planning a massive attack and war with God that will culminate in the ultimate showdown between good and evil!

Only 4 episodes left till series end. 
They had talked about this going for a few more seasons before, but it seems viewership took a huge dive and led to it being canceled. At least they apparently were able to know in advance and give us some sort of series closure with the end from what they said in the recent news.
